To be a great tutor, like any skill that I've tried to teach a student in these past four years, gets better with practice. I'm thankful to have attended a high school that allowed me the opportunity to offer academic support to my peers. There were no material incentives - the rewards were intrinsic. Thus, I learned to love teaching for its own sake. When I came to college, the opportunities only expanded. I was...

...the vocabulary they need to ace their German classes in a way that provides each student with shades of meaning, a working knowledge of synonyms/antonyms and the ability to produce spontaneous speech, rather than a focus on one-to-one translations that don't always make sense. I help my students learn to understand, speak and produce texts in context, while using hands-on activities with music, literature and film to explore grammatical concepts and get a strong understanding...

I understand how intimidating the mighty MCAT can feel. I help my students master both the content and...

Following graduation, I moved back to my hometown, where I gained experience as a K-12 substitute teacher and personal tutor.

Because of my awareness that these subjects can be extremely monotonous and confusing,...

...My students have come from diverse backgrounds and have taught me how to relate to a variety of different students. I have learned through my past tutoring experiences how to personally relate to each student and how to cater lessons to his or her individual needs. Along with tutoring, I worked two summers at YMCA as the head of the swim clinic day camp. This taught me about how to patiently interact with students (or...

For an enthusiastic student, there is always another question to prompt a new level of understanding. That is the outlook that gives me enthusiasm as a mentor. I have enjoyed watching smiles catch on each time that enough guidance leads a student to new realizations, and have been fortunate enough to see this happen regularly as first a US Peace Corps educator in Lesotho and then a substitute teacher/aid in the SAU 24 school district...

I was born and raised in Philadelphia. I have worked as a teacher/educator for 8 years and love seeing the expression of understanding on the face of a student. I used to do stand-up comedy and sing in an acapella group, and I try to input at least some comedy into my tutoring (not a lot of opportunity for singing). I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, did graduate school at Pace University, and am...
